A former major in the Swedish army, who once headed the GAZ Group, then AVTOVAZ, seven years after parting ways with the Russian auto giant, continues to send him negative vibes. Well, black PR is also PR, only the attempts of an offended top manager to troll the Volga Automobile Plant look extremely impartial. However, the people of Togliatti were able to trump the bourgeoisie who believed in themselves. With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
A little history to start with. Bo Andersson put the flagship LADA Vesta and the sub-crossover XRAY into oblivion with the hands of Russian specialists. Also, an effective manager killed off local suppliers at AVTOVAZ in favor of foreign contractors, effectively making the factory dependent on foreign partners, who probably helped a lot with cashbacks to maintain the lavish lifestyle of the boss and his Russian wife, Katerina Matushkova. to hold. The latter, by the way, held the position of director of business development in the company and helped the head of the family and the auto giant in the destruction of a number of divisions of the plant to swing Renault and Nissan.
YOU WILL FORBIDDEN TO LIVE BEAUTIFULLY
True, then the spectacular blonde was fired with a bang. However, the “Varangian” himself began to look for a new job. The last straw was the unilateral decision to force dealers to communicate with the company about pre-orders. Shareholders did not appreciate such a policy – car prices skyrocketed and sales fell.
It must be admitted that the Swede could not get into business for a long time. He talked to students at the university, then he advised business people. Then fortune smiled and Andersson ended up at Yazaki, an auto parts company. We know for sure how his fate turned out there – the top manager fled to Uzbekistan and lost his slippers. And now, after two years of working as general manager of UzAuto Motors, Uncle Bu announced that he had achieved colossal results. And he said this not just to anyone, but to the European press, so that there would be more rustling and reactions.
LOVE, MISS
You have to somehow remind the anti-Russian world of yourself, especially after your own reputation has been pretty wet. He recalled: “According to the results of 2022, UzAuto Motors produced and sold 40% more cars – 335,000. We beat the Russian AvtoVAZ, which sold only 200,000 copies,” Bo Andersson said without hesitation in an interview with the Swedish edition of Dagens industri.
GROMIL AND I WILL MAKE AWESOME
In other words, the former president of LADA continues to rejoice at how insignificant he thinks things are going with our auto giant. Well, a man likes to hit, even from a distance and after many years. Although at the same time the Uzbek top manager added that he was not averse to entering into cooperation with the Russian Federation, where American General Motors crafts manufactured at a local factory would go easily.
But an effective businessman should know that neither Chevrolet nor Cadillac are popular in Russia. And after the imposition of sanctions by the collective West, no one noticed the departed overseas brands. But they noticed an attempt at inept Swedish “trolling” at AVTOVAZ, which they even hurriedly answered. Moreover, in an extremely delicate form, albeit with a pronounced message in three cheerful letters, which Bo Andersson probably knows during the years of work in Russia. Here is the full quote received by the editors of the AvtoVzglyad portal:
“AVTOVAZ sincerely welcomes the internal struggle of Mr. Andersson, who has always set ambitious goals for himself. Today he heads a modern assembly plant for the production of foreign cars in the conditions of state protection of the market with protective duties. Of course, this requires a lot of effort. AVTOVAZ is ready to continue to inspire Mr. Anderson. We wish him all the best,” the LADA press service told AvtoVzglyad.
FOR THREE FUNNY LETTERS
To be honest, if we were in Togliatti we would be less restrained in expressions, although we are no less grateful to the Swede for Vesta than the company for resuming local supply of components. We are no longer dependent on anyone and in the car market that has sunk into the abyss, we still hold a leading position. The same cannot be said of Bo Andersson, who changes jobs so often and flaunts achievements in Uzbekistan’s obscenely meager auto sector, where GM has built the most monopoly there is.
